In reply to johnl:
Hi John
Well we need more flats on Portland, err, don't we?
And more problem people relocated to Weston (to be nearer the crags, you understand).
Perhaps we could do with the intervention of one elder statesman, a self-professed authority on climbing matters, who once confided to Neal, "I've always wondered about you chaps... do you start at the top and go down... or do you start at the bottom and go up?"
How Neal (the eternal diplomat) kept a straight face is beyond me.

P.S. Will be in touch re scandal elsewhere.
